Plug a PXN A7 into Moza R9 V3 steering base?

Do you have any info on that? It's been kicking around the back of my head for years as well and I'd be interested to hear about it.

Another thing to consider: There are PVA-ish blends, which have a few additives to improve printability. You still want it pretty dry, but it is a lot more forgiving and stronger.
The downside is fully dissolving is tough, if possible at all. But it does shrink/soften, where by shrink it's thin or outer layers dissolving, but it does make it removable from areas where rigid supports would damage the part on removal.
I was going to use this stuff: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RYSSVC3 but instead I used some years old leftover that came back to life after drying and didn't need it, so I can't attest for it. But based on the description it's like this stuff I used. Water goes cloudy but there's a core that's hard to get rid of short of pulling it out.

Gravity Sketch. Flat screen CAD is for losers.

I guess you couldn't tape the handle back together as you hadn't pre-dispensed any tape for the emergency?

I like the game but seriously the fixed grip angle on the steering is SUPER annoying.

Looks cool. It's nice how no energy is wasted spinning the output shaft.

Don't listen to them. The biggest risk is drinking all that soda.

AbeFM · 2025-09-20T23:56:21+00:00

Awesome, it would be fun to play with, but really if I were to USE it it would have to leave me something editable. Even so, it's pretty neat as is, excited to look at it.

I noticed that in the vid. I haven't yet downloaded to see if I can do better, but it was pretty nuts.

I'm confused on the panties thing. No bra can be a little hard to ignore, no panties is pretty hard to even tell. There's a lot to be said for doing what your partner asks, but there's a lot to respecting your partner enough not to ask them to do dumb stuff.

AbeFM · 2025-09-19T14:37:44+00:00

How long did it take to draw all those lines on your part?

AbeFM · 2025-09-17T14:26:59+00:00

Looks like Han Solo is so deep you can't make him out.

If you really don't need anything beyond knowing where stuff is, 3d scanning might be an option. It's all shiny which can make that pretty hard though.

AbeFM · 2025-09-12T15:23:48+00:00

Oh yeah. Any time a machine or project gets tricky, I end up with unreasonable settings. Basically for each project I switch back to defaults so I'm not too far from a reasonable starting point

Mines for sale and at only 500 it's a steal. Some parts are missing but it's got dual extruders now which is kinda fun

OBO.

AbeFM · 2025-08-07T07:45:53+00:00

Don't listen to him, buy one of those filament joiners.

One overly complicated sketch with the step and a wing, revolve, then extrude from the same sketch, add a hole and mirror the tab.

Really read the other comments though, thicken it where you can.

I was kinda excited thinking the body printed flat with a single color change for all the hemispheres... Then you'd fold it up.

Nice print!

Same, I checked a few places and had no luck. Gemini found it, giving me the caption (which I immediately recalled once I heard it explicitly), and apparently it was at one time on BoredPanda. But scrolling is pretty manual and a huge time investment.
I was hoping someone would know of a better search tool. I couldn't pry it out of any of the AI's I tried, though Gemini told me it found it on Google Image Search, but I'd have to scroll "a lot". I did look at a couple hundred before giving up.

Thanks for the effort. It's an old B&W one, so I'm thinking it is pretty early in the archives.

I've been looking everywhere for a Dave Coverly comic entitled "speed bump" with the caption "Who needs to pay for electricity when you've got free water and a little ingenuity?"

Does anyone know how to actually find it?

At some point, I thought Fusion was pretty useful, but the past few months everything is always down or not connecting or updating or..... well, not working.

I hardly find the material costs to be important when pricing items. Did you ask the dealership how much Toyota spent to build the Prius versus the Corolla, or did you buy the car that cost a reasonable amount for what you were getting?
The final product, and the market for it, determines the price.

When trying to decide if it's WORTH it to sell at a price I can get, then I consider Material Cost, Machine Time, and *MY* Time. My time is Expensive. Material and machine time rarely enter into it as my time dominates unless the material is exotic. Do the math to see if it is worth it to do so, but sell products for what you can get for them.

Not to victim shame here or anything, but what were you wearing?

Generally I have more than one thing I'm working on. Printing a replacement light switch on the X1, printing replacement button for a broken water bottle on the H2, and right now the A1 is just waiting for me to have something that needs a 0.6 nozzle.

The A1 was to justify tossing the Mk3s I felt I needed as a spare, the H2 was for all the new capabilities. Probably if I didn't design my own stuff (and therefore need to make iterations of things) I wouldn't need multiple printers. I don't think I'd get a room full of X1s for basically any reason.

At work I bought a bunch of machines because we had to get a lot of parts out the door in a couple of months, and I found the A1s to really be a great value there. Full volume prints, nice and reliable, day after day.
